The screening process of Daredevil: Hour of War was not as hilarious as the two Spider-Man films.
But after the screening was over, the warm applause seemed to lift the roof of the screening hall.
In the question-and-answer session, both media reporters and film critics gave high praise to the film.
Whether it is the "Superman" and "Batman" series in the past, or the "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" series that have been popular in recent years, they all use the comic-like exaggeration.
Until this "Daredevil: The Time of War", a more rigorous realistic approach was adopted, such as the unskilled skills of Daredevil when he first appeared in the arena and the novice on the road, and the primitiveness and wildness in the fighting process. It's a fictional, sinful New York, but the details make it feel believable.
The popularity of film critics has at least established a must-see tone for this film.
However, among the many questions, a question from a reporter from "Entertainment Weekly" attracted Dunn's attention.
"Ms. Shirley Lansing, we all know that you just left Paramount. What motivated you to join New Universal?"
Shirley Lansing replied formulaically: "The New Universal...has very attractive values. The New Order, the New Model, the New Power, the New Universal, the New Hollywood, this is a great and magical fantasy. Here Having an experienced management team, a fantastic creative team, and an excellent boss who is bold and attentive… all these are the reasons why I joined New Universal.”
"Let me say a few words."
Tang En took the microphone, and the smile on his face made many people in the live media jump.
Rushing to speak?
Are you going to fire again?
Tang En cleared his throat and said lightly: "As we all know, some time ago, I was awarded the title of honorary police officer by the Los Angeles Police Department. Of course, this is not a real police officer, just an honor and a memorial. But for me Said, I hope to do my best to really play some police functions in the Hollywood industry and make the environment of this circle better and better."
"There are some things that everyone will understand even if I don't say it. In the workplace, women must be paid less than men for the same position and the same job. This phenomenon is very common. I'm not trying to criticize individual companies, I'm just saying A common American phenomenon, it's very unfair."
"Sherley Lansing has been in charge of Paramount for more than ten years. During this period, she has released countless classic films, which have become the memories of a generation of fans. If she is the first to be laid off and fired because she is a woman, I would I don't think it was the right choice. I've known Shirley for many years, I know her abilities, she has an unimaginable taste in movies, and that's why New Universal hired her."
As soon as the voice fell, the whole place was silent.
Anyone with a bit of brains can understand that Dunn's words are aimed at New York media tycoon Summer Redstone!
This is a direct accusation that Redstone discriminates against female employees!
As feminism intensifies in New York, this hits Redstone's soft spot.
Viacom has very few female employees.
Now that Viacom's stock price has encountered some crisis, it immediately fired the female leadership. Isn't this clearly discriminating against women?
Alright, another good show.
...
There's also a big benefit to having the premiere two weeks early.
That is, you can borrow the pen of film critics to further expand the influence of the film!
BBC: "War Hour is a bold and brilliant superhero film, the best comic book movie ever made!"
"Dallas Morning News": "British actor Christian Bale's acting is worthy of praise. He shows the soul of Daredevil. The story is also very good. It is indeed the beginning of the dark Marvel, which will make people sink. A lot to think about. But Daredevil is probably the toughest superhero."
"Movie Review": "Nolan's Daredevil has many scenes that pay tribute to Spider-Man, especially the subway chase scene with Bullseye. The main points of this film: 1. Daredevil The growth of Xia's mind includes overcoming the fear of darkness and the 'betrayal' of love; 2, increasing the stakes, in this film, Daredevil cannot fail, and failure means the complete sinking of New York."
Yahoo Entertainment: "The new trend of feminism is perfectly expressed in Nolan's Daredevil: The Hour of War. The film rejects the emotional drama of the male and female protagonists, and the vulgar hero saves the beauty. The foil gesture of a watchman turned into an image that really stood up to the backbone of the film. Matt and Erica's story is clearly not over yet, and we look forward to the sequel."
Rolling Stone: "Darkness is well established, Daredevil shows the ambition of Marvel Studios."
msn news: "Matt Murdoch's personal grievances, sublimation to justice and awe-inspiring, struggling love psychology, runs through the whole film. Or tangled, or hesitant, or painful, or confused... So far, a full of emotions, rich Feelings, insist on justice, like Daredevil who lives by our side, appeared!"
"The Hollywood Reporter": "Obviously, Marvel Studios wants to make "Daredevil" a series, and the movie explains the ins and outs of various things. Director Nolan's leeway is not particularly large. But in the limited play In the space, we saw the control ability of this young British director, and the shock under the giant screen of imax was like being there."
Because it is the premiere, most of the film critics invited to come have a good relationship with New Universal.
Those thorns are not within the scope of invitation.
This has also led to media public opinion, unanimous voices, and the film "Daredevil: Time for War" has been held to an unprecedented height!
Rotten Tomatoes has two criteria for evaluation: "fresh" and "rotten". Only professional film critics, or media people registered with the Film Association, are eligible for evaluation.
Because Rotten Tomatoes isn't well-known enough, they don't need to log on to the site in person to rate the movie.
The staff of Rotten Tomatoes will capture a large number of media reports and intercept the evaluation of these film critics on the film.
Praise, give "fresh";
Bad reviews are given as "rotten".
In continuous media reports, Rotten Tomatoes lifted the evaluation ban before the release of Daredevil: War Hour, and the freshness index: 100%!
52 professional evaluation agencies, all gave praise!
The effect is amazing!
After the movie is released, the freshness will definitely decline gradually.
But it certainly won't lower it too much.
Even at the beginning of the month, "X-Men 2" had 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Push forward again.
"X-Men 1", freshness index: 79%; "Spider-Man 2", freshness index: 91%; "Spider-Man 1", freshness index 94%...
Even Sam Raimi's bad movie "Transformation Black", which was produced in 1990, has a 76% freshness.
As far as the current situation is concerned, superhero movies are still a new trend in the film industry, and they are indeed relatively "fresh".
...
With the end of a grand premiere, Christopher Nolan's new film "Daredevil: War Hour" has won unanimous praise from the media, rave reviews, and a 100% Rotten Tomatoes freshness index!
unprecedented.
On the other hand, Tang En's speech at the premiere also showed strength in the media public opinion.
Dunn is very famous and is one of the leading figures in American feminism today.
Radical feminists organized marches to demonstrate and protest outside the Viacom headquarters in the Rockefeller Building in Manhattan.
It caused great pressure of public opinion to Redstone.
Viacom's stock price has also fallen again and again!
Redstone really cried, completely cried!
In order to save Viacom's share price, he chose to start with the film industry, and the first direction was Paramount.
This really has nothing to do with discrimination against women!
In order to fire Shirley Lansing, he even paid more than $23 million in liquidated damages.
You know, Shirley Lansing's basic annual salary at Paramount is only $650,000!
Redstone paid such a high price, not only failed to save Viacom's falling stock price, but made it worse!
Tang En's remarks did not criticize by name~www.novelhall.com~, but the listeners had a heart, and already gave Redstone a hat of discriminating against female employees.
Investors sold Viacom shares in a frenzy.
Within three days, Viacom's market value plummeted by $7.4 billion!
The market value fell directly below the $50 billion mark!
After a Paramount substitution, Viacom's market value fell to $47.6 billion.
At this time, Disney is broadcasting "American Idol", and using the images of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, the singer's homecoming activities are carried out all over the country, which is in full swing!
The momentum is gratifying!
"American Idol" will not end in 2 months, but the current number of text messages has exceeded the previous season!
According to incomplete statistics, telecom dividends alone can increase by 50% this year!
Although the box office of several films released by Disney this year was flat, but affected by the good news of the second season of "American Idol", the market value has reached 49.5 billion US dollars!
$1.9 billion more than Viacom!
With the help of Dunn's power, Michael Eisner led Disney, and finally surpassed Viacom and became the second largest media group in the world after aol Time Warner!
Michael Eisner made a special trip to call Dunn, his voice was surging and full of passion: "Don, let Disney and New Universal reach a strategic cooperation is the most correct decision I have made in my life!"
He seems to have forgotten.
Three years ago, Disney was continuously hit by Dunn Pictures in the film market. At the same time, under the internal and external attacks of Viacom and Roy Disney, Michael Eisner was in a turmoil and his status was not guaranteed.
He scolded angrily in the office at the time: "Pampering Dunn Walker to become bigger is the stupidest decision I've ever made in my life!"
After three years, everything has changed.
